I can drive all sorts of wonderful race cars at Le Mans, Nurgurgring, Spa, etc.

In fact I'm just taking a break from driving a Ford GT40 GT2 car in a race at Hockenheim right now.

I've always enjoyed my visits to Portugal.
No idea what they're talking about though

I visited Lisbon a few times on business and had some truly memorable and fantastic times ..

Always take life to the max...............
